No wireless communication facility shall encroach upon the height limits, if applicable, of airport hazard zones. In no case shall a freestanding tower exceed a height of 150 feet, except where a height variance is granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with its then-current procedures upon a demonstration of a hardship by the applicant that can only be remedied by location of the facility on the proposed site within the city limits. Antennas mounted as an accessory on top of a building, water tower, lighting standard, electric utility transmission tower, or other tall structure having another primary function shall not extend more than 15 feet above the highest point of the structure as measured from the average ground level around the structure.
